Vol. 470 No. 5

Written Answers. - Moneypoint (Clare) Power Station.

Batt O'Keeffe

Ceist:

119 Mr. B. O'Keeffe asked the Minister for Transport, Energy and Communications if he intends to sell Moneypoint power station, County Clare; and his views on the ethical implications of such a sale. [19548/96]

There is no substance to the suggestion of a sale of Moneypoint power station.

The proposal approved by the Minister for Finance is a lease and leaseback arrangement and does not affect either the ownership or operation of Moneypoint. As no sale arises, I have no views on the ethical implications, if any, which might arise if a sale of assets were to take place.
